Lauren Goodger wants baby with jailbird beau

Lauren Goodger is planning to fall for a baby when her boyfriend Joey Morrison is on day release from prison

Lauren Goodger wants to try for a baby when her jailbird boyfriend is on day release.

The former 'The Only way is Essex' star has been celibate for over a year because her partner Joey Morrison has been in prison but has admitted she is hoping to fall pregnant when they do the deed when he's allowed to leave the cell for a short period.

Speaking to Now magazine, she said when pressed on the rumours she wants to try for a baby with Joey when he's on day release: "I'd like it to happen. I've made no secret of the fact that I want a baby and the sooner the better. I've been celibate for a year, so It will be amazing to spend some time with him on our own. Maybe cook some dinner together, spend the night together. Do normal things that we haven't been able to do."

Although she's keen to have a little one with the hunk as soon as possible, the 30-year-old beauty is adamant she'll never tie the knot while Joey is inside because she wants to do it "properly" so she's planning to wait until he's served his time before they wed.

She said: "Never. I want to do the whole thing properly, so that wouldn't happen."

Lauren's plans may come as a shock to fans as she set tongues wagging recently when she deleted Joey - who's been behind bars since 2009 for possession of a firearm, kidnap and blackmail - from her Instagram account and shared cryptic quotes.

However, friends claimed that the curvaceous babe - who is on a mission to drop a dress size - was "still with" Joey and insisted her online actions were normal for her.
